Answer:

What is the advantage of following the advice of the investment bankers? What is the disadvantage?

Whenever a small company decides to carry out an IPO, the risk of not selling all the stocks exists and it has happened many times before. East Bay's executives probably believe that their company is the next Apple or Microsoft, or any other super huge high tech corporation. But the reality is that it is not. If the IPO goes on and not all the stocks are sold, the stock price will plummet by the end of the trading day.

On the other hand, maybe East Bay in a couple of years will be worth more than Tesla, Amazon or any other top corporation, and pricing their stocks too low will only result in losing money.

Actually, no two analysts in the world ever agree on the exact intrinsic price of stocks. Even though math should be the same and they all use the same formulas, several factors are considered differently.

According to the​ Break-Even EBIT​ analysis, shareholders are​ ____ off with debt when EBIT is​ _____ the​ Break-Even EBIT level
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Answer B.

Explanation:

EBIT break even point is a situation when company does not make a profit or has loss. It is a point where earnings per share are equal to zero. It is the level of ebit equal to fixed costs for the company, like interest on the debt. If this break even point increases, this leads to the increase of financial risk. However, increase of ebit above break even point leads to net income calculated as EBIT*(1-interest expense)*(1-tax rate)-preferred dividends being higher.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

76 months

Explanation:

If Lisa only pays the $20 minimum monthly payment, it will take her 76 months to repay her debt (6 years and 4 months). She will also end up paying almost $540 in interest.

If you have a credit card it is never a good idea to pay only the minimum monthly payment since you will end up paying a lot of interest and usually other fees and charges apply.
